There is also testimony to the fact that another law has been violated by the introduction of the Chinese on the northern frontier. namely. the alien contractlabor law. The evidence of the deputy collector is that about 50 Chinese come into the United States by way of British Columbia each week. in violation of the restriction act. Since 1889 the British Columbian Governmnt has charged $50 p. r head tax upon Chinese entering that country. The number of Chinese in British Columbia sees not to have increased. It has been stated to me by a person high in official position in Victoria that there are about six thousand Chinese now in the province of British Columbia. of which about three thousand reside in the city of Victoria.
